Curse

The Rage of a Garou has a palpable effect upon those near them. Humans and
other prey can subconsciously sense how close a Garou is to her animal nature,
and will react negatively. A good rule of thumb is to compare the target's
Willpower and a Garou's Rage. If the Garou's Rage is higher, then the target
will react badly. This means that Garou with high Rage cannot interact very
well with human society. They will find their friends deserting them, shop
owners keeping their hands on the shotgun under the counter, police hassling
them, and other generally unpleasant situations arising. This can be a real
shock for Homid Garou as they near their first change and their social life
falls apart on top of everything else. Sometimes the Curse even affects wolves,
as they sense something unnatural about the Garou.
